My 46 gallon LPS Tank

SeahorseBT · 11-16-2008, 08:03 PM

Well I finally did it. I moved all my LPS from my 34 gallon into my 46 and left the SPS in there. The tank used to be a seahorse tank but one died. The other went to a friend. It's all good though because my fry are doing great. Check out the link in my sig.

Here is a pic before the move. It looks really blue but I don't know how to fix it.

Fish:

I'll post pics tomorrow when everything opens back up.

very nice. getting some seahorses myself in a few months

Everybody looks very happy.
What else are you going to put in the tank for company?
What is that in the lower right? I can't quite make it out.

lower right looks to be a longtentacle plate coral ?

SeahorseBT · 11-16-2008, 08:39 PM

Thanks guys. That is a bubble coral in the lower right. I moved it now. As far as company I am not sure...Maybe a flame hawkfish. Don't they eat shrimp though? I have a sexy shrimp in there and plan to add more. We will see..

Stuff is opening up pretty well but not 100%.I think I am going to switch the picassos with the occ's in the other tank because I miss them hosting the frogspawn.

SeahorseBT · 11-17-2008, 07:30 PM

I re-aquascaped again. I think I like it better this way. Pics will be up later....

Your tank is coming along nicely, you've gotten a nice mix of colors in there so far.

SeahorseBT · 11-17-2008, 08:38 PM

Here is an update. I picked up an orange plate coral today and added my other ric rock. Some of the stuff is a little pissed, I was just in the tank.

Your tank looks great. Good selection of corals you've picked out for it. Do you target feed your lps?
How often do you do water changes?
I see you have no powerheads, But just a return i have had problems with flow in my tank and have not been able to get it right. How would you describe your flow?
Sorry for all the questions but you look like you know what your doing with lps
